Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

Anime background art of an ordinary Japanese residential back street with no people in it at all: a small shopfront, a vending machine, overhead power cables crossing the sky, a low blossoming tree and a narrow pavement. Clean even line, flat colour with a single soft shadow pass, bright flat midday light rather than golden hour. Still and quietly lonely. No readable lettering on any sign.
